Truckers Monster Rebuild

[ducatiz]

well all in all the subframe, about 5 feet worth, should collect any oil on its inner walls and let it drain back down.  I ran for a long time with a bart simpson head on the breather with holes cut in it. never had oil puke out, just a slight residue after 1000 or so miles.

I guess im more interested in the performance of reed valve vs no reed valve.

it is probably also a function of engine speed and the volume of the barrels which would affect the total vacuum. 

old pantah 500/600/650/750 engines revving under 8k are no comparison to SBK-class engine speed and displacement.  more vacuum = needs more expansion space.

Just ordered the 4130 DOM tubing for the frame and swingarm.

Bought a program for designing my suspension linkage.  Ill post some screen shots.  I need some help deciding how progressive to make the rising rate for the shock. 

making some v blocks at school today for the mockup swingarm.

Out of curiosity, what software are you using?

The only bad thing with projects that are this custom, is they are never done fast enough.  Impatient people (me) can't wait to see this thing finished.
Again, keep up the good work

Wow! I don't know what else to say.

sadly progress will be slow for a while. A good friend of mine was murdered on thursday and my best friends dad died yesterday, I used to live with them.  Ill get back to the build as soon as I can.

Unfortunately, sometimes life gets in the way of motorcycle related activities.  I am sorry that you have lost two people that were close to you.
